Salary– $60,000

Lower Columbia Fish Enhancement Group (LCFEG) is seeking a Restoration Project Manager to join our team of conservation-minded professionals.  We currently have a staff of five and this position will be our second project manager.  Project managers are a critical part of our restoration work—they scout, plan, seek funding and permitting, and oversee habitat restoration projects.  Much of the day to day work occurs indoors at a computer but you will need to be willing and able to work outdoors in all kinds of conditions.  This position requires knowledge of watershed function, ecology, and fish biology and a good balance of technical knowledge and people skills. An effective project manager is also self-motivated, organized, creative, team focused, and an excellent communicator.

  • Determining high priority projects and pursuing potential funding sources for these projects. Writing/managing grant application proposals.
  • Coordinating with local watershed Lead Entity staff and other partners to identify, develop, and prioritize salmon habitat restoration projects.
  • Directing implementation of funded projects. Managing and monitoring grants and contract budgets. Maintaining files of proposals and current/past grants and contracts.
  • Developing/managing project timelines, scopes of work, and budgets in cooperation with the Managing Director and staff. Ensuring projects are on schedule and within budget.
  • Conducting competitive bid processes and hiring/managing subcontractors (engineers, construction contractors, etc.) under the direction of the Managing Director.
  • Acquiring all necessary permits, landowner agreements, and access for projects.
  • Ensuring compliance with state and federal laws and LCFEG policies.
  • Managing/coordinating project consultants and contractors and associated contracts.
  • Directing LCFEG field staff in coordination with other project managers based on organizational needs and priorities.
  • Tracking and reporting project costs, invoices, and match/cost share required by grants.
  • Preparing reports and presentations. Providing project updates to staff, Board, and partners (Tribes, state and federal agencies, local governments, community organizations, etc.).
  • Participating in technical work group and stakeholder meetings for projects, as needed, including design team meetings and other meetings that relate specifically to funded projects or project development.
